Raven Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 Its not THAT bad, so far.... hehe. So I measured the block height a cylinder to cylinder wall width today. 5K - 98mm block height | 9mm cylinder wall width.... I have some plans that for this motor :cool: Quote

camerondownunder88 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Hi, How was your measurement taken raven for the 9mm block wall? Did you also measure actual wall thickness? Can be done from cylinder one I polished up the side of it through the water pump hole and put a caliper on the out side of cylinder one through the hole and other side of caliper in bore to get actuall wall thickness at the front. I think if you boring it out this will be a better measurement as you will know the wall thickness of a single cylinder better. Also I forget the measurement was awhile since I did it. Cameron Quote
Raven Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 Yeah the thickness I took was from between cylinder 3 and 4, not taking into account the water jackets. :cool: Quote

Raven Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Posted April 11, 2008 RS Watanabe's are overpriced Takumi rims :) Konig Rewinds for me :lolcry: **Update** Rust free bonnet sourced! Raven is happy! Slowly and steady wins the race so they say, and well, this project sure is going slow haha. Quote
dfunkt Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 you found a bonnet already :lolcry: now i'm gonna have to pay for my own carbon mould :) Quote
Raven Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 Haha, well, for $80, I'm not complaining. It will require a little smothing out from a few dings here and there but thats nothing to worry about :) Quote
Raven Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) And to prove I have another bonnet (with no rust along the front edge) :yes:..... Edited May 8, 2008 by Raven Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 And to prove I have another bonnet (with no rust along the front edge) :yes:..... It looks good a real bargain for that price. Quote
Raven Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Posted April 26, 2008 It has a few dents and what-not, but the panel beater should be able to heat them up and pop them out :yes: Quote
